MU narrowed the list of strikers desired and Benjamin Sesko and Ollie Watkins, so who is more suitable for the Old Trafford team?
Ruben Amorim is really looking to bring back a new number 9 player this summer after Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee spent bad seasons. In 64 appearances in the Premier League last season, the duo only scored 7 goals.
Therefore, it is not surprising to see MU want to change all the attack after signing a contract with Maheus Cuha and Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils are said to have contacted the representative of Benjamin Sesko, the player was also interested in Newcastle.
Although there is no ticket to the European Cup next season, MU is still confident to convince RB Leipzig's player to choose Old Trafford. The only barrier is the transfer price. RB Leipzig wants at least £ 75 million for his star, while MU doesn't want to spend more than £ 60 million. MU also keeps an eye on Ollie Watkins, when Aston Villa is said to want £ 60 million for the British player.
